1. Android QuickContactBadge

No ADS
Android QuickContactBadge is a subclass of ImageView. It displays as a small badge which the user clicks on to quickly create a contact, such as adding a phone number to the contacts, adding an email to the contacts, etc.
Note: QuickContactBadge is not available in the Palette of the design window, so you need to use the following XML code to add QuickContactBadge into the interface.
QuickContactBadge
<QuickContactBadge
    android:id="@+id/quickContactBadge11"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/icon_contact_add" ...>

</QuickContactBadge>
True to its name of "Quick Contact Badge", with just a couple of short lines of code, you can easily create a small "Badge" that allows the user to click on in order to add a contact.
For example: Set the parameters for a QuickContactBadge to add a specific phone number to the contacts. You don't even need to write the OnClick event handler for the QuickContactBadge.
this.quickContactBadgePhone = (QuickContactBadge) findViewById(R.id.quickContactBadge_phone);
this.quickContactBadgePhone.assignContactFromPhone("+1-555-521-5554", true);
You can see the newly added phone number to the contacts:

2. Some important methods

Some important methods of QuickContactBadge are:
  • assignContactFromPhone(String phoneNumber, boolean lazyLookup, Bundle extras)
  • assignContactFromPhone(String phoneNumber, boolean lazyLookup)
  • assignContactFromEmail(String emailAddress, boolean lazyLookup, Bundle extras)
  • assignContactFromEmail(String emailAddress, boolean lazyLookup)
  • assignContactUri(Uri contactUri)

3. Example of QuickContactBadge

In this example, we have two QuickContactBadge(s). The first QuickContactBadge allows the user to quickly add a phone number to the contacts, and the second QuickContactBadge allows the user to quickly add an Email to the contacts.
The "Pick Contact" button permits the user to select an existing contact in the contacts.
OK. Now on Android Studio,create a project:
  • File > New > New Project > Empty Activity
    • Name: QuickContactBadgeExample
    • Package name: com.example.quickcontactbadgeexample
    • Language: Java
The interface of the example looks like this:
